CLEAN LIVING
The Bible was so ahead of its time when it came to hygiene and sanitation. This is mind blowing, considering that Biblical authors had no specific understanding of germs yet.
We love to sleep in one room, the kids love it bec they're with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad love it bec we save in electricity. But one of us gets sick, that person sleeps in a separate room - to avoid spreading the sickness. The Bible talked about this.(Leveticus 13:46) It talked about separating people with leprosy and other contagious deseases. Even their clothes were to be burned.
TOILET TRAINING - The Bible tells the Israelites to "have a place outside the camp where you can go when you need to relieve yourselves. Carry a stick as part of your equipment so that when you have a bowel movement you can dig a hole and cover it up." (Deuteronomy 23:13-14)
In the newer bible version it says "Carry a stick and toilet paper - preferrably double ply..." Just kidding. Back in those days, you could'nt flush, so people used a stick. The
key here was to dig your dump and cover with soil. All I can say is "Thank God we can flush!"
TAKE A BATH - During biblical times, this was a religious ritual (Numbers 19:11-22) It even gave the ingredients for soap - so that hand washing will take more than 15 sec. enough to remove the germs.
Today, we realize its a very important hygienic practice.
NATURAL EATING
Germs are'nt your only enemy. We now have new enemies, modern, manmade toxins. And its in our food.
PROCESSED FOOD - they're loaded with preservatives, they put additives and other chemicals to make them taste like the real thing. And these chemicals are not healthy for us. Eat natural food as much as possible. Take charge over your health.
HOLISTIC HEALING
See yourself as body and soul. If you want to heal the body, you have to heal the soul too.
